Hi I’m Alison Crago MNCPS (Acc) a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.
Using a person-centred approach as the foundation of my practice. I work in a trauma-informed way and incorporate creative interventions where appropriate to support your individual needs. Drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor my approach to you, ensuring therapy is collaborative, flexible, and responsive to your unique experiences.
Together, we create a trusting, authentic relationship, where you will be supported and encouraged to explore approaches that you feel will work best for you. You may only want to be truly listened to without judgement, or you may choose to explore the subconscious with something creative, or calm the nervous system with gentle somatic techniques. We will attend to your needs in the moment.
